After joining the Seven Swordsmen of Mist, he became a deserted S-rank ninja, and was Itachi Uchiwa's partner when the latter joined the Akatsuki.
History
Before he became known as a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, Kisame was assigned to the internal and secret surveillance of a division of Kiri ninjas by his superior, Fuguki Suikazan. During a mission, this division was surrounded by a squad led by Ibiki Morino, Kisame killed all the members of his division in order to avoid any information leakage. He later eliminated his own superior officer, having learned that he himself was passing information to the enemy. He took Samehada and replaced his master in the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.
Approached by the Fourth Mizukage after his "patriotic" act, Kisame revealed the disillusionment of his role: could he still consider himself a Kiri ninja after having killed all his teammates or was his life just a huge lie? Tobi, who was controlling Yagura in the shadows, introduced himself to him as Madara Uchiwa and told him about his Moon Eye project. At first Kisame was skeptical about the plan and Tobi, but he was finally attracted by the prospect of a "world without lies". Thus, Kisame became one of the first and most loyal members of the Akatsuki.
In Kiri, Kisame acquired the nickname of "Fog Monster". He also met the young brothers Hôzuki, Mangetsu and Suigetsu. With the other swordsmen, he tried to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage and was forced into exile. Registered in the Bingo Book as a criminal of rank S, he is pursued by the Water Country for attempted coup d'état and for assassinations, including that of a daimyo.
In the Akatsuki, he teamed up with Itachi Uchiwa. Their first meeting seemed to announce a mutual hostility between the two shinobi, but in the end they became very good partners, having in common the fact of having betrayed and killed the people closest to them.
Personality
Kisame loved to fight. However, he was often forced to not "finish" the job, pairing up with Itachi who only intervened when necessary. Moreover, Kisame was not a thick brute who would rush in without thinking. He showed amazing analytical skills, even in combat.
The most outstanding feature of Kisame's personality was his unshakeable will, which did not tolerate any doubts or regrets and which did not make him back down from any mission: whether it was morally monstrous, practically impossible, or even totally suicidal. Kisame was the Akatsuki member whose self-sacrifice towards the group, and formerly Kiri, was the most absolute, having joined and sacrificed his life, and that of many others, for the goals of the organization of his own free will. His hard and violent past and the cruelty of the tasks that were always assigned to him made him a cold and merciless being (no charity but not pronounced cruelty, like some other members of Akatsuki), seeing himself as a "cannibal". He joined the Akatsuki for a "world without lies" which he dislikes; this trait is particularly marked in him which makes him difficult to approach: he can't be sympathetic or even attentive to anyone, anyone being a potential target, getting attached to someone he would potentially have to kill is a hypocrisy that is unbearable for him and would be a terrible weight for the good execution of his objectives (which he would accomplish even if he had feelings, so, for him, he might as well not have any). The only person he ever felt close to and "complicit" with was Itachi, thinking that they shared the same "cannibal" nature, but he found out at the very end of his life that this was not the only thing that defined him...
Kisame was one of the few Akatsuki members who formed a harmonious duo with his partner. Loyal to Itachi, he seemed to follow his orders and care about his health. In spite of his self-esteem, he knew he was less powerful than Itachi and didn't hesitate to admit it. Nevertheless, during their first meeting, Kisame advised him to be careful. It seems that he held Itachi in high esteem and developed a "friendship" with him, perhaps the only one he ever had. Indeed, even before he took his last breath, he had a thought for Itachi. Kisame had a deep dislike for Gai Maito ever since their first confrontation; with each of the next two, Gai had already forgotten his name.
Apparence
Kisame is a very tall and muscular shinobi, surpassing all other members of the Akatsuki. He has shark-like features, with pale green skin (blue-gray in the anime), white irises, gill-like rings and triangular teeth (a characteristic he shares with the other swordsmen of the Mist).
Skills
Kisame is described as the Monster of the Hidden Village of Kiri. He is also a renegade of the order of the Swordsmen of the Mist of which he was considered the most powerful. Moreover, he has superhuman strength according to Gai, who had to use the Morning Peacock to defeat a clone of Kisame with only 30% of the original's abilities. Moreover, Neji said that he had not seen such a large amount of chakra since Naruto, who also had an exceptionally large reserve. Kisame can also absorb the chakra of his opponents, even without Samehada's help.
Kenjutsu
His abilities are mainly based on the use of Samehada, a legendary sword that allows him to steal the chakra of his opponents. So, the stronger his enemy is, the more powerful Kisame will be. The native of Kiri is also considered by Tobi as the best in terms of capturing bijû, a status that he owes among other things to his extraordinary endurance. He uses the chakra stolen by Samehada to regenerate himself in the middle of a fight, which allows him to stand up to a demon with tails and to beat him. Samehada can't suck up more than six tails of chakra per hit, however: this limit allowed B to inflict a big slash with his Lariat.
Ninjutsu
Kisame is an expert in the art of Suiton, only the Second Hokage mastered it better than him. He has many water techniques such as water prison, water clones or elemental shark. The native of Kiri was even able to produce a thousand water sharks to attack Gai. He can also steal chakra from his opponents without the help of Samehada and absorbs it with great voracity according to Aoba. Many ninjas recognize his value and his great mastery of Suiton.
His most powerful technique is the "shark dance in the water prison". Kisame creates a gigantic water bubble that can be seen from several miles away. By merging with Samehada, he gains much better mobility in the water; he can feel the chakra of the people in the bubble just with his skin, and of course he can breathe underwater. The bubble always moves with him since he is the center of it. Kisame earned his reputation as the best hunter of living prey with this technique.
Taijutsu
Kisame is also very strong physically and has very high stamina. He seemed to surpass Gai himself when he faced him for the second time in raw strength when Kisame had only 30% of his chakra. He showed his resilience and strength in his last fight where he managed to destroy Yamato's Mokuton pillar even after facing Gai's Midi Tiger.
Part I
Search for Tsunade
Kisame and Itachi infiltrated Konoha after the failure of the Oto invasion of the village. Their mission was to capture Kyûbi's host: Naruto Uzumaki. They were spotted by Kakashi Hatake and then challenged by Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi. Kisame confronted Asuma, the two competing in the use of their respective weapons.
Kisame tried a Suiton technique on Asuma but it was copied by Kakashi who countered it. He watched the duel between Itachi and Kakashi, then tried to strike the final blow to Kakashi but was pushed back by Gai Maito. When they heard that the Anbu had arrived, they retreated.
Kisame and Itachi found Naruto in a hotel room, who had gone to find Tsunade. Kisame recognized Itachi's brother who had arrived. Kisame wanted to break Naruto's legs and absorbed Kyûbi's chakra which the latter was trying to use. As he was about to swing his sword at Naruto, a summons from Jiraya blocked him. Not wanting to face the Sannin, Itachi and Kisame left after escaping Jiraya's toad stomach technique.
Part II
Rescue of the Kazekage
Kisame was present during the extraction of Ichibi from Gaara's body. He gave 30% of his chakra to Pain to create a clone of him with one of Sasori's henchmen. Kisame seemed to control his clone during his fight against Gai, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga and Tenten, immobilizing the last three named in a triple Aqueous Prison and taunting a Gai unable to remember his name. They managed to defeat him despite their low chakra levels compared to Kisame.
Hidan and Kakuzu
Kisame participated in the sealing of Nibi.
Pursuit of Itachi
Kisame was present to seal Sanbi. He learned that Orochimaru had been defeated by Sasuke and that Sasuke was looking for Itachi. Kisame asked Itachi what he was going to do. He was later seen carrying Roshi, the jinchuri of Yonbi, whom he had defeated by himself even if he was a bit tired after the fight. He learned about the death of Tobi (whose antics he enjoyed) and Deidara.
Kisame stopped Suigetsu, Jûgo and Karin to keep them away from the upcoming fight between Sasuke and Itachi. He took the opportunity to have a little duel with Suigetsu.
Search for Hachibi
Kisame recognized Madara Uchiwa in Tobi and called him "Mizukage", in reference to the role he played in Kiri. He also told Sasuke and the Taka team about the biju. After having participated in the failed sealing of Hachibi (only the chakra of a tentacle was sealed), Kisame was sent to search for the bijû.
Kage Summit
Thanks to Samehada, Kisame tracked down Killer B and faced him in a savage duel where he displayed a vast repertoire of techniques. Just as he was about to win, he was betrayed by Samehada and decapitated by the Double Lariat of the Raikage and Killer B.
But in reality, Kisame had hidden inside Samehada: after faking his death, he had a new mission to infiltrate Kumo and bring as much information as possible to Tobi in preparation for the upcoming war. Killer B, who had no idea, "adopted" the animated sword. Through this Trojan horse, Kisame was able to spy on a war council in Kumo, learning among other things that Killer B had a rather limited intelligence.
Containment of jinchuri
Kisame was still hidden in Samehada when Killer B went to the Turtle Island to be safe from the Akatsuki. He assisted to the control of Kyûbi's chakra by Naruto who guessed his presence. Kisame emerged from Samehada and revealed that the AB duo had actually eliminated a white Zetsu. He used the sword to flee but when he came out of the waterfall, he was attacked by Gai who had mistaken him for his inner monster.
Samehada left Kisame but Kisame used it to steal chakra from Killer B and regain his strength. He also absorbed Aoba Yamashiro's chakra via his light threads, then used a Suiton shark to flee to the sea. Kisame summoned a shark and gave it a scroll containing the information he had gathered. He was attacked by Gai and created a thousand sharks to cover the messenger. Gai released six chakra doors at once and used the Morning Peacock to destroy them all. Gai then opened the seventh gate and unleashed his South Tiger in response to Kisame's Daikodan.
He thought he would win because the Daikodan could strengthen itself by absorbing enemy chakra, but since the Midi Tiger was made of pure force and not chakra, his strategy was lost. Gai retrieved the scroll and Yamato immobilized Kisame with a Mokuton pillory. Aoba then tried to read his mind and discovered Kisame's past. Kisame bit his tongue to wake up and freed himself from his shackles. He locked himself in a watery bubble where he was eaten by his own sharks to avoid any information leak. He had previously rigged the scroll so that anyone trying to open it would be trapped in a watery prison with a shark, while the scroll reached Tobi via another shark. Thus, Kisame accomplished his last mission for the Akatsuki.
